Hi Kannan,

first thing to say I think the problem should have been submitted in HP-UX room:

http://forums11.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/familyhome.do?familyId=117

Anyway I'd like to help you but one thing that I didn't understand from your post is whether you have currently a shell as root on system.

Could you reply about this?
Then I'll give you steps to change root password according to the situation.

Best regards,
Fabio

Kannan,

If you have a physical console and can boot the system in single user mode then you be logged in without needing to log in.


Reboot,
Interrupt boot

boot command:
hpux -is

At that point you can reset the password.

Norm
